Purchase Numeracy and Learning Difficulties
This comprehensive guide examines the different ways students acquire mathematical skills, and helps teachers develop flexible teaching methods to suit these varied ways of learning.
Numeracy and Learning Difficulties also discusses common areas of learning difficulty in mathematics and ‘why students fail’. It looks at ways teachers can determine gaps in students’ knowledge, how to develop curricula to address these gaps, and problem solving strategies and skills as a means of improving numerical literacy.
Drawing on research from the fields of developmental and cognitive psychology, Peter Westwood presents a case for high-quality ‘first teaching’ to prevent students failing in the initial acquisition of numeracy skills.
